C-Job Naval Architects eyes the nuclear option

Nuclear marine propulsion continues to attract advocates. Now, Netherlands based C-Job Naval Architects says that new research shows that nuclear energy could indeed be applied in commercial marine propulsion in the future.

C-Job says there have been several interesting developments in nuclear technology that mean it should be considered for future maritime applications.

Based on the research, C-Job concludes that the molten salt reactor has the most potential in the long term. The combination...
